“My wife runs ultras. Running is in our household daily so it was inevitable that I started. I’d tried other forms of exercise but most of them have a recurring cost (Gyms/classes) or a huge upfront cost (Cycling). Running doesn’t have this, at first. My knees were hurting me for a while when I started but that faded and I’m gradually getting to the point where I’m hitting a flow state when running. I’m also at the point where I’m confident enough to begin entering races (I prefer trail over road running) so I want to invest in better kit, but now that it’s a hobby (though not the passion my wife has, not yet) I don’t mind investing in myself because that’s how I’m starting to see it. An investment.”
